Rising sea levels can have a dramatic impact on coastal environments. It can increase the flood risk in coastal areas, displace people and damage infrastructure as well as lead to alterations of wetlands, beach erosion and decline of species diversity. It can also cause water salinity changes and pollutants to be spread near or onto land, leading to a decline in water quality.
